Case Study: Kongsberg Automotive achieves modern mobile HR and continuous employee development with SAP SuccessFactors

Putting Employees in Control to Support Continuous Development

Kongsberg Automotive, a global automotive components supplier with more than 10,000 employees, faced the need to digitalize HR, give employees mobile self‑service and autonomy, and reskill/upskill its workforce for Industry 5.0. To replace its legacy Workday system and modernize HR across the employee lifecycle, Kongsberg Automotive selected SAP SuccessFactors (implementing the SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite and Employee Central) with SAP Preferred Success support.

SAP SuccessFactors, with partner Mercer | Promerit, rolled out Employee Central and mobile self‑services across 19 countries for 10,000+ employees, creating a single HR master repository and 24/7 mobile access. The implementation delivered measurable results: 33% faster time to fill positions, 30% fewer HR requests, a 15% reduction in HR costs, 100% adoption, reporting time cut from 45 to 15 minutes, doubled successors for key roles, insight into 60% of critical roles, and 3% of managerial roles filled internally—demonstrating SAP SuccessFactors’ impact on visibility, hiring speed, and continuous learning.
